  • For August and September Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be released once a week. The twice weekly releases will resume in October. Thanks for your patience. Here we go chums. What a rewarding experience this has been. But can The Ambassdors of Death contnue to surprise, and to break the mould, and have host Toby pull off a rare victory? Or will the ending be a damp squib? Well, for one last time Toby and special guest Mark Wright delve into this most undersung of Who classics - and loving it to (ker-pow) DEATH is, of course, their moral duty.

  • The fortnightly releases of Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will recommence in October. Thanks for indulging the current battery recharge which is well needed x

    The Third Doctor's first trip into space (eat that Colony!) enables us to see the faces behind the masks and the ... whatever it is behind the Venetian (or maybe Martian) blinds. We have something gassy in decontamination and the cloning of Max Faulkner: it's all happening in a story that the deinzens of Patreon are havbing a ball watching along with (se we hope you are too). And remember - it's pretty close between Mark Wright and Toby when it comes to choosing their favourite things.

  • Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be weekly during August and September- the twice weekly releases will return in October.

    So, the story steps up a pace: beginnning, as it does, with the death of another major character and having Liz held hostage and the Doctor jetting off into space. Will his journey be as wayward as the story itself is often written off as being, or will it hit the target? And with Toby and illustrious guest Mark Wright neck and neck, surely your host can't screw this up? Can he?

  • Toby Hadoke's Time Travels is reducing its release rate to once a week during August and September because it is very tired and overworked and needs a holiday (it won't get one, but at least this'll take the pressure off a bit).The plot gets thicker and thicker, but not as thick as Taltalian's accent... and thereby hangs a tale (but perhaps one that is slightly too long). Anyway, there is much to recommend this episode: Reegan continues to be a charmer, the Doctor is on fine form, and the Ambassadors don't get the best of receptions from Max Faulkner when they try to muscle their way past him. What will writer and editor Mark Wright choose as his favourite thing from a story that has plenty to choose from?

  • Just a reminder that Happy Times and Places will be released once a week (rather than the usual twice) during August and September. Holidays innit?

    Let's hope there are no technical problems with this episode (there were for part two, sorry) but it wouldn't be a surprise if there were. This story seems compelled to make itself somehow unreachable, intagible, opaque. Peering through the gloom to discern its qualities is Mark Wright (no, not that one, or that one) but what will he chose as his favourite thing? Will he take host Toby to the cleaners (or rather, Hayhoe Laundries) or end up buried under a pile of gravel in a moment of gratuitous brilliance?

  • There is much to love about this story, but the majority of fandom has never quite got to grips with it. This episode might help to explain why - it's a tricky one to watch because of the diffciulties restoring the pictures, and there are a couple of elements which sit awkwardly amonst the show's canon (the vanishing of the tape, Bessie's forcefield). But there's also a fantastic hi-jacking, a compelling story and exemplary cast. Will guest Mark Wright and host Toby Hadoke be on the same wavelength? Or are they secretly plotting against each other?Please note that during August and September Toby Hadoke's Time Travels will be going weekly because, well, we all need a bit of a rest and recharge. This partcular Happy Times and Places has had some excellent feedback though; so hopefully you'll get plenty of quality despite the reduced quantity.

  • Now then, this is one of your host's favourite stories - one he thinks is probably the most underrated story in the whole canon. It was always rather apologetically dealt with in write-ups and fan word-of-mouth was that it was a bit of a mess. So Toby came to it quite late and with low expectations - and was bowled over by it. And it is a love that has never died. Does writer, editor and all-round smart guy Mark Wright have a similar journey towards Mars Probe 7? Will he like the same things? Or will he just send Toby a coded message that is impossible to understand? Well, let's find out in this latest Happy Times and Places.

    Or should that be

    Happy Times...

    AND PLACES!!!

  • Endings are hard aren't they? So hard that it's taken a while to get this one out. It is all explained (which is more than can be said for some elements of the latest series) and, hopefully, not too disappointing. Resolving story arcs is very much a modern series thing... but can Doctor Who ever really satisfy as it does, after all... never end?

    This is a bonus release (partially because it's late) at the beginning of August to herald a downscale of release frequency for the next couple of months while Toby plays catch up. There will still be one release per week though, each one containing a hour or so's worth of material, so you'll still be hearing from the podcasts: and there are some good ones to come!

  • Robin Bunce, Cambridge academic and writer, whose father Roger was a legnedary BBC cameraman who worked with most of the classic Doctors, has chosen Attack of the Cybermen to celebrate in this positively inclined podcast series. What will he choose to celebrate about this contiunuity rich and somewhat violent story? And will host Toby Hadoke choose the same things... or will he be left out in the cold?

  • One of the longest Doctor Who stories - both episodes-wise and in terms of real time within the fiction - gets one of the longest podcasts. This really is a trek - and one without a compass because there are no moving pictures at all from Marco Polo. But we have a reliable guide : J Jeremy Bentham, surely the elder stateman of Doctor Who fandom. He brings erudition and wit to his observations about this story: and a good job too, as your rambling host frequently brings neither. Here's a very long podcast - come for it.

  • The TARDIS team embark upon their quest for the Keys of Marinus and land in a place where everything seems to be perfect. An inventive, if slight, episode, this one features some interesting techniques employed by the prodcution team to pull off the unusual demands of the script. It is also notable because we never actually saw the original, 1964 version of this episode until the DVD release in 2009 - due to some unusual gaps discovered almost by mistake. And The Who in this edition shows that every contributor to the cast list is worth our time - our subjects this week became, respectively, a key theatrical figure in Canada and a celebrated author in the USA... not bad for a couple of fellows who gathered at Lime Grove Studio D in March 1964 to mess about - in motheaten clothes - with brains in jars.

  • And so we get stoned for one last time. So stoned we go on a trip to hyperspace for a complete change in style and content from the Hammer Horror of the early instalmnents. Often seen as the weaker part of the story, what will Steve Cranford like about it, and will he be able to convince host Toby Hadoke (and indeed, you)?

  • It's cold outside but there's plenty of atmosphere as The Stones of Blood enters what is commonly known as its hyperspace phase. The story takes an odd turn but there's much to talk about - from matador hi-jinks to imprisoned Wirrn via, of course, the doomed campers. Will Steve Cranford and your host go for the obvious choice of favorite thing here? Well, pitch your tent and find out.

  • Pack your sausage sandwiches and your thermos - but don't forget your truncheon as we might need it if we want to get to Plymouth. Photo ID? Well, there are a load of pictures to choose from in the priest hole - that's if we don't end up getting stoned before we start. It's all go in this skull smashing instalment : but will Steve Cranford choose the same thing as your host as the highlight of this blood-curdling episode?

  • The 100th Doctor Who story - maybe we should have held out and had it as the 100th Happy Times and Places! Gah - there's always clarity after the event! Anyway, this has been one that has never quite done it for yoiur host, Toby Hadoke: and he is open about this at the start... but of course, the whole point of the podcast is to get a special guest (in this case presenter and beefcake Stephen Cranford) to be so enthusiastic that Toby can't help but feel the love. So draw your curtains, summon your raven and prepare to sacrfice the next hour or so on the Stones of Blood.

  • So, after the epic journey through Marco Polo let's fire the starting pistol on Doctor Who's next quest. We've gone from historical back to science-fiction, with the return of the writer who has proved himself a boon to the prodcution team. But it's fair to say it's an episode during which quite a lot goes wrong, and there were a few hiccups on the way to it too. But there are new monsters, a well known guest star who has a couple of unique Doctor Who claims to fame, and some press interest. So zip up your wet suits and don't trip on your flippers, and let's dive into The Sea of Death.

  • Not much about the episode (The Legend of Ruby Sunday) in this one really - as is Indefinable Magic's wont, it wanders of on a tangeant all of its own. This time the inspiration comes from that joy we feel when an element from the show's past comes back to reconnect us to our childhoods. It also takes in some of the convoluted ways these returns have been disguised and what it must be like for the actors to get a call about a role they first played decades ago. This is pretty much a first draft, one-take broadcast, done on the fly during journeys to and from various jobs and personal obligations and recorded literally minutes before publishing . So forgive any slight compromises in sound quality and the odd fluff.

  • Ed Stradling revels in the many deaths that Eric Saward serves up in this very gruesome but highly entertaining story. Or is it a violent aberration that is too grim for a family fantasy show? Food for thought and for chat in the second part of this feature length adventure that is actually the same length as normal but doesn't seem like it is.

  • So, what to we do when we don't like an aspect of a Doctor Who story? Well, we are Doctor Who fans, so we behave utterly rationally of course. For this episode of Indefinable Magic, the way in which we are drawn to criticise the thing we love comes into the spotlight. Is there such a thing as objectively good and bad, and who has the monopoly on saying what "true" Doctor Who is? As ever, these are attempts to rationally examine an aspect of the show and the fan experience, and are not intended as vehicles for criticism or value judgements on a particular episode.

  • This one has been done as originally broadcast - as a pair of feature length episodes. So it's two things per instlalment that have to be chosen by special guest Ed Stradling. It's a story controversial for its tone and content, and one that would have an impact and influence on the future of the show. And for your host and Ed, it's one that they both made a documentary about, so there's a little extra perspecive on the VAM as a nice bonus.
